The first priority of a politician is to get elected. The second priority is to get re-elected. / Thomas Sowell
Overview:
The United States’ two-party political system has morphed into multiple political factions over the past several decades. The majority of these factions are working against the best interests of the American people, yet most are not aware that their “party” has deserted them. The majority of these factions have brought America to the brink of collapse with their reckless spending, dangerous ideologies, self-interests, apathy and disregard for the citizens they represent. There is only a single faction with the principles that can help save America from its rapid decline.
Myth: The United States is a wealthy superpower that has the means to police and provide financial support to the world as well as provide education, healthcare and welfare to millions of people who wish to come into the country illegally.
Fact: The United States is on the precipice of fiscal collapse, sustained only by a continual and massive infusion of printed fiat currency. This has caused major inflation and interest rate hikes, and much of the world is trying to decouple from the U.S. dollar. The national debt is so large that the interest payments alone are larger than the defense budget. This debt will grow by at least $2 trillion per year with no end in sight. There is no possibility of ever paying off one penny of the principle as entitlements and interest payments devour the entire tax base.
Myth: The Democrat Party advocates for the common man and the downtrodden and is the party of fiscal responsibility as proven by Bill Clinton’s budget surpluses.
Fact: This Democrat Party no longer exists (if it ever did). The modern Democrat Party advocates for the powerful “elite” and their primary concern is obtaining and maintaining power. They now believe in “modern monetary theory,” i.e., endless money printing, which is the opposite of fiscal responsibility. Their policies only hurt the middle and lower classes, but they will gladly bankrupt the country to buy their votes.
Myth: There is a functioning two-party system in the United States and the differing perspectives between the Republicans and Democrats lead to compromise and balance.
Fact: It is no longer Democrats vs. Republicans; it is globalists vs. nationalists, or in many cases good vs. evil.. The Democrats work maniacally to obtain single-Party control of the country while the majority of the Republicans are little more than controlled opposition; really nothing more than the subservient half of a “Uniparty.” These Democrats and Republicans work together against pro-America patriots to enrich themselves and promote a globalist agenda.
Myth: The conservative grassroots movement, i.e., Make America Great Again (MAGA) or America First, is an existential threat to America. They are a threat to democracy and are more dangerous than Al-Qaeda.
Fact: This popular conservative grassroots movement is the only political group that cares about a constitutional America, liberty and fiscal responsibility. Therefore, it is the only group that can save America from its accelerating descent into fiscal insolvency and communism.
Politicians Have Spent the United States to the Brink of Fiscal Collapse
It is a time-tested strategy for politicians to use the public purse to buy off the voters with handouts, pass huge spending bills loaded with pork for their particular state, and/or fake a successful economy by flooding it with liquidity through massive borrowing and spending. More/Less..
Two of the biggest offenders were “The New Deal” in the 1930s, which was a plethora of socialized programs justified by the Great Depression, and “The Great Society” in the 1960s, which was little more than a massive government expansion and vote-buying program under the guise of racial equality and fighting poverty. The “War on Poverty” alone has cost the U.S. in excess of $22 trillion, and continues to drain $billions from the U.S. Treasury every year.
Since those days, holding political office has become so lucrative and prestigious that far too many politicians refuse to leave office and “serve” well after retirement age, even into their 80s and occasionally 90s. In order to stay in office that long unfortunately requires politicians to continue these U.S. Treasury draining schemes in perpetuity.
Thanks to this shortsighted and irresponsible spending the United States has run up a massive debt. At the end of 2023 this debt surpassed $34 trillion. This is an increase of approximately $24 trillion since George W. Bush left office in 2009.
Neither Party is immune from blame for the fiscal calamity the country now faces; however, various political ideologies are more to blame than others. There are a small minority of representatives in this two-party system who want to get the federal budget under control, but the majority are fine with business as usual, i.e., continued irresponsible spending and leaving the fiscal mess for the next Congress and next generation.
The Pandemic and the Biden Administration Accelerated the Fiscal Calamity
Due to the massive spending from the Covid lockdowns, which the Biden administration used as an excuse to continue spending long after the Covid crisis was over, plus the massive “Green New Deal” spending passed on a strictly partisan vote by the House Democrats, the National Debt has grown so large that the interest payments alone have eclipsed $1 trillion per year. More/Less...
Along with this reckless spending, most prices have increased significantly due to the “war on fossil fuels,” which is nothing more than a massive handout to the green energy industry and pandering to the environmental climate change alarmists. This caused massive inflation that in turn was combated by the Federal Reserve through significant interest rate hikes. Since the government has a rolling debt, the low interest debt is coming due and must be refinanced at significantly higher rates. All of these factors have caused the national debt to increase by $1 trillion in a mere 100 days.
There is no end in sight and there are projected $2 trillion deficits as far as the eye can see. Barring no additional crises, the country will accumulate a national debt of $50 trillion in a mere 8 years. This debt is so large and the U.S. is looking so fiscally irresponsible that a significant part of the world is looking for an exit from the U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency.
Not Only is the Country Bankrupt, but Our Freedoms are Being Stolen as Well
Many politicians (primarily on the left) not only want to sit in positions of power for money and prestige, they also want total control of the American people. They believe that free people are a threat to their power and are willing to use the power of the federal government to run a surveillance police state in order to keep people in line. In other words, they want to implement the China model of governing (ruling).
Which Political Party Actually Wants to Preserve Freedom and Save the Country from the Impending Fiscal Collapse?
Now let’s look at which political party is serious about addressing this crisis.
While there are only two major political Parties in the U.S., there are basically six Political Party factions, plus one that has been fabricated by the left for political fearmongering:
Traditional Democrats
Traditional Republicans
“New” Democrats
“Establishment” Republicans
Radical left “alt-left” (Marxists)
Grassroots right (America First, MAGA)
“Alt-right” (does not actually exist)
Let’s break down each of the factions of our two-party system.
Traditional Democrats – The average Democrat voter may still hold the old traditional Democrat values but the modern Democrat Party doesn’t. These voters harken back to Bill Clinton, JFK and FDR and fail to understand what their party has morphed into. The moderate Democrat Party that people think they are voting for no longer exists, but instead has been radicalized by socialist and Marxist activists.
Traditional Republicans – This is the old pro-business, pro-tax cuts Party. They pay lip-service to being pro-life, but they are really pro-stay in office and do basically nothing.
“Modern” Democrats – This is now the party of the rich and the Silicon Valley multi-billionaires, and act as the elite ruling class over America. They are turning the country into a surveillance police state and using all levers of government to shut down their opposition. They collude with big-tech and the mainstream media to censor any speech that challenges their agenda. They are willing to spend the country into oblivion to stay in power, which is exactly what they did under Nancy Pelosi from 2021 to 2023. They are determined to hold power at any cost and the ends justifies any means.
It's Official: Democrats Are the Extremists Today
Further evidence that Democrats have become the party of the rich
“Establishment” Republicans – This is the faction of Republicans who despise the grassroots populist conservative movement, because it threatens their fiefdom. These are the D.C. swamp-dwellers who are trying to hold on to the old dinosaur party, even by supporting Democrats. They seem to prefer to be in the minority and be controlled opposition for the Democrats. They have been referred to as RINOs (Republican in Name Only), but are now often referred to as the “uniparty,” i.e., replacing these people with Democrats would make little difference. They do nothing to curb spending because they are getting rich from it and/or think that the mainstream media might say something bad about them. They are spineless and weak and will gladly follow the modern Democrats over the fiscal cliff in order to get along.
Radical left “alt-left” – These are America- and Christian-hating Marxists, brainwashed youth, Muslim-supremacist immigrants, LGBTQ+ zealots and most of the misfits and malcontent in society. They are the Marxist revolutionaries who want to burn down the entire western capitalist way of life and build it back in what they deem an “equitable” system. They are collectivists who want a huge government to confiscate wealth and hand it to them so they don’t have to get jobs and work. They are mostly avid racists, indoctrinated by Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project to hate white people. Election by election these radicals are increasingly finding their way into Congress, mostly in the House of Representative as members of “The Squad”. These leftist radicals are so prevalent in the Democrat Party, that only by underhanded means was Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described “Democratic Socialist” prevented from being the Presidential candidate for the Democrat Party in 2016 and 2020. Because the Democrats need this radical faction to maintain their 100% lockstep voting compliance in Congress, they wield an immense amount of control over the Democrat Party.
The Insidiousness of the Radical Left: How Can We Fight It?
American Bolsheviks’ Marxist Conquest of the Democratic Party
Grassroots right (America First, MAGA) – This is a fast-growing populist movement for the average American who is tired of corrupt politicians, their lies and wasteful misuse of taxpayer money. These are the modern populist conservatives. They believe in following the Constitution, limited government, Second Amendment rights, controlled borders, individual liberty and fiscal responsibility. Because these founding principles are opposite of the modern-Democrat’s extreme agenda to “transform” (destroy) America, Democrats and the mainstream media have labeled (defamed) this group as extremists. This movement started back in 2009 as the Tea Party, is now associated with Donald Trump and will continue in the future with or without Donald Trump. This is the only faction that is concerned with the country’s unsustainable debt and government overreach, and therefore are the only avenue to save America from becoming a Marxist/communist country.
The Real Meaning of Trump’s MAGA (15:10)
“Alt-right” – This is an imaginary faction of the Republican Party, fabricated by the Democrats and the mainstream media, that refers to white-supremacists, neo-Nazis, etc. These groups are misrepresented as part of the Republican Party, which they are not. While a portion of this tiny percentage of the population may vote for Republicans for one reason or another, e.g., gun rights, free-speech rights, etc., they are not embraced by any faction of the Republican Party. The Democrats and the mainstream media intentionally portray these extremists as the America First movement to depict grassroots patriots as white-supremacists, neo-Nazis and domestic terrorists.
Single Issue Voters
There are three major political issues that override all other issues and cause people to vote for one Party over the other. These issues are abortion, gun rights and climate change. Since the “modern” Democrats don’t support the Second Amendment, the gun rights advocates vote for Republicans, who also care about fiscal solvency and freedom. Voting for abortion and/or climate change requires voting for Democrats, whose policies are bankrupting America and diminishing the majority of our freedoms (except the freedom of abortion). Since only a minuscule number of the American people actually want or need an abortion, a single-issue abortion vote will invariably be a vote against their own self-interests. Regardless of your pet issue, none of it will matter if our currency and country collapses or if we are forced to live as serfs.
Conclusion
The Party faction that is being propagandized as an “existential threat to America” (the grassroots right) is actually the only faction that is willing to roll up their sleeves and tackle the country’s fiscal crisis, and therefore the only faction that can possibly save America. The other factions are either radical and want to bring down America, or they are complicit or too weak to do anything to stop it.
It is critical that voters understand the actual U.S. political Party system and cast their vote for the group that will work to save America, not the factions working to destroy it.
